Abstract

A synopsis of the organolead studies performed at our University is given. The different environmental applications such as air, wet atmospheric deposition and dust are summarized and the analytical characteristics of the extraction/derivatization/gas chromatography—atomic absorption spectrometry methodology for the species specific determination of ionic alkyllead species are described.

Key words
